Since I don't have any other staves, how does this note apply to my  
case?

And doesn't the above sentence, "Grace note synchronization can also  
lead to surprises", really mean that grace note implementation is  
buggy?  It looks to me that people have been bitten by these bugs  
since at least 2004 or so.

I guess I'll have to concentrate on engraving music for composers who  
avoid initial grace notes.
